InStyle had a “contest” of sorts wherein they invited designers to create their own outfit for Katniss’s iconic “Girl on Fire” ensemble.

I think that Charlotte Ronson nailed it. This is what I wish they’d do in the film.

Imagine, if you will, a man who, as Speaker of the House, orchestrates the impeachment of a President for an adulterous affair with a White House aide twenty-six years his junior while he himself is conducting an adulterous affair with a congressional aide twenty-two years his junior, having earlier left the first of his three wives while she was hospitalized with cancer. Imagine a man who attributes these behaviors to “how passionately I felt about this country.” Imagine a man who, told he can’t sit in a front section of Air Force One, shuts down the government. Imagine a man who becomes the only House Speaker ever to be disciplined for ethics violations. Imagine a man who, in a country just staggering out of the worst recession of the past fifty years and facing the threat of worldwide economic collapse, proposes to hire small children to work as janitors, mopping floors and cleaning toilets in their schools (or their orphanages, perhaps). Imagine that man as Commander-in-Chief.

Macy’s, the retailer, put specific transgender-related policies, which grant access to fitting rooms and restrooms of transitioning employees’ choice, in place in 2006. “We offered special training in intimate apparel departments for sales associates to help transgender individuals with fittings,” Beth Charlton of Macy’s corporate communications department tells us. “We also have offered training to our store managers, law department, and human resources regarding our transgender policy.” The company has also recruited for transgender employees in its San Francisco stores. “At every level of our company, we recognize the value that different perspectives bring to our business, and we celebrate the unique characteristics and strengths of each associate.”
